Clinicopathologic analysis of 493 cases of salivary gland tumors in a Southern Brazilian population

Abstract

The present data confirm that PA and MEC are the most common benign and malignant SGTs. However, it is important to consider that differences in tumor types may be influenced by whether a tumor derives from a medical or a dental service.

Salivary Gland Tumors in Turkey: Demographic Features and Histopathological Distribution of 510 Patients

“…Lukšić et al [4], Tian et al [10], and Wang et al [17] reported that ME cases are more common in parotid gland. The most common malignant tumor types were ACC and MEC in our series as in the literature [4,[10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22]. There was a location predilection for certain malignant tumor types but MEC has a similar frequency when parotid and minor gland localizations are compared.…”

“…PA is invariably the most common tumor type among all salivary gland neoplasms with reported rates between 38.4 and 67.8 % [4,[10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22]. WT is known as the second most common benign salivary gland neoplasm and this tumor almost always originates from parotid gland as in our series.…”

“…In the literature sex distribution pattern differs geographically. In countries of Latin America, there is a strong female predominance and M:F ratio was reported between 0.57 and 0.81 [14,15,22]. Studies from China, India and Sri Lanka report almost equal sex distribution [10,11,13,17,18].…”

Documentation of the Salivary Gland Tumors: An Institutional Data From Turkey

“…Salivary gland tumors (SGTs) consist of a group of heterogeneous lesions with complex clinicopathologic characteristics and distinct biological behavior that correspond to approximately 3% to 10% of the neoplasms of the head and neck region [1][2][3][4][5]. Epidemiological studies have shown geographical differences in the incidence and frequency of histological subtypes of SGTs [1].…”

“…Epidemiological studies have shown geographical differences in the incidence and frequency of histological subtypes of SGTs [1]. In this retrospective study, hospital records of 244 patients with salivary gland tumors were documented with demographic features and histological diagnosis.…”
